Overseas Fortunes, the Seed of Fire by Friction, and the Vastness of the Primordial Wilderness

Although the Human Race was formidable and possessed immense strength,

the Saber-toothed Tiger was no ordinary Saber-toothed Tiger; it possessed magical power.

The man's stone struck the Saber-toothed Tiger, yet it was completely unharmed. Instead, it only provoked its ferocity.

Roar!

With a fierce roar, the Saber-toothed Tiger rolled on the ground and flung the human Vajrapani from its back.

Its massive body sprang into the air and pounced toward the human Vajrapani.

Seeing the Saber-toothed Tiger pounce, the human Vajrapani was greatly startled. He hurriedly rolled aside, narrowly evading its attack.

Seeing that the human Vajrapani was in grave danger, Lin Zhu's figure flashed, and he instantly stood before the Saber-toothed Tiger. With a wave of his hand, a vast surge of magical power struck the Saber-toothed Tiger atop the head.

The Saber-toothed Tiger's enormous body was blasted backward and crashed to the ground, already a corpse.

Lin Zhu's magical power had penetrated its body and long since extinguished its life force.

Seeing Lin Zhu descend from the sky and kill the Saber-toothed Tiger with one hand, the still-shaken human Vajrapanis finally came to their senses. They stepped forward one after another and thanked Lin Zhu for saving their lives.

The burly man stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Lin Zhu. "Thank you, Immortal, for saving us!"

"I never expected this Saber-toothed Tiger to be so powerful!"

"If the Immortal had not intervened, several of our brothers would surely have been lost."

Lin Zhu said, "It was merely a small effort. There is no need to mention it."

The man said, "It may have been a small effort for an Immortal, but to us, it is a life-saving kindness!"

At that moment, Xuan Du also arrived.

When he saw the young man, he cried out in delighted surprise, "Sui, is that you?"

Sui was also overwhelmed with joy upon seeing Xuan Du.

The two stepped forward to meet.

Lin Zhu was wondering how Xuan Du knew the other man.

Then Xuan Du took Sui by the hand and led him before Lin Zhu.

"Sui, this is my senior brother, Lin Zhu."

"Senior Brother, Sui and I are both members of the Primordial Human Race. We are old friends."

Lin Zhu looked at Sui and discovered that the Fortune around him was exceptionally dense.

He was undoubtedly one of the first generation of the Primordial Human Race.

When Nüwa created humanity, the first generation of the Primordial Human Race possessed the finest aptitude. With each successive generation, their aptitude grew poorer.

Sui looked young, but he should have been quite old.

"So you are Xuan Du's senior brother. No wonder you are so formidable. Brother Xuan Du became the disciple of Saint Taishang; you must have received instruction in immortal arts, right?" Sui said.

Xuan Du said, "I have already reached the Profound Immortal realm."

Although Sui did not know what level the Profound Immortal realm was, it carried the word "Immortal," so it surely meant he had become an Immortal. He could not help but feel happy for Xuan Du.

Sui immediately ordered his subordinates to use stone knives to butcher the Saber-toothed Tiger's corpse for everyone to eat.

He then warmly invited Xuan Du and Lin Zhu to rest awhile in the cave.

Several hundred humans lived within the cave.

Outside the cave stood an enormous tree, its canopy blotting out the sky and sun as it covered the entrance.

There were both old and young humans within the cave, forming what was clearly a tribe.

Sui led the two into the cave, and the tribespeople came forward one after another to greet them, addressing Sui as their chieftain.

When they heard that both were Immortals, the tribespeople immediately became exceedingly respectful.

Xuan Du and Sui spoke of their past, while Lin Zhu merely listened from the side. From their scattered remarks, he came to understand some of the situation.

Although the Human Race was weak at present, they still possessed Nüwa's Blessing. They survived by hunting beasts and gathering wild fruit, and their livelihood was fairly stable.

But Lin Zhu knew that nine generations later, Nüwa's Blessing would vanish, and the Human Race would enter its Darkest Hour.

While they conversed, the other tribespeople had already finished butchering the Saber-toothed Tiger.

A female tribesperson carried bloody Saber-toothed Tiger meat before the three of them.

Sui smiled. "Honored Immortals, we have nothing good with which to entertain you. How about we enjoy this fresh Saber-toothed Tiger meat together?"

With that, he took two pieces of Saber-toothed Tiger meat and offered them to Lin Zhu and Xuan Du.

Looking at the bloody Saber-toothed Tiger meat in his hand, Lin Zhu could not help but feel troubled.

Xuan Du, however, did not hesitate. He took a bite, blood hanging from the corner of his mouth as all his refinement vanished.

Before Taishang Laojun had accepted him as a disciple, this was how he ate, so he was hardly unfamiliar with it.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhu circulated his magical power. A blaze of fire surged forth, and he used his power to roast the Saber-toothed Tiger meat.

At once, the fragrance of roasted meat filled the air and spread throughout the entire cave.

Every human turned to look at Lin Zhu.

They had never imagined that with a slight gesture from Lin Zhu, the Saber-toothed Tiger meat would release such a tantalizing aroma, greatly whetting their appetites.

"Could this be a cultivated Divine Power?" Sui stopped eating as well and looked toward Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu smiled. "I used Dao Fire to roast it. Cooking the meat makes it more delicious and easier to absorb."

Cooking the meat!

Sui fell into thought.

Seeing everyone staring at the meat in his hands, Lin Zhu said, "If you wish to try it, I can cook the meat in your hands as well."

The humans were overjoyed and hurriedly handed their meat to Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu used his magical power to cook the pieces of meat.

The fragrance of meat permeated the entire cave.

These humans had never tasted such delicious food before. They ate in great mouthfuls, wolfing it down and praising it without end.

Sui also ate the cooked meat and repeatedly exclaimed in admiration. It would be wonderful if we could often eat such delicious food.

Lin Zhu had not expected that his casual act had already planted in Sui's heart the seed of making fire by friction.

After lingering for several days in the human settlement, Lin Zhu finally bid farewell and departed with Xuan Du.

Xuan Du and Sui parted reluctantly.

Afterward, the two left the human settlement and continued their journey through the Primordial Wilderness.

The two senior and junior brothers wandered throughout the Primordial World for several decades.

Other than some low-quality spiritual herbs and grasses, they gained nothing and found no opportunities.

Such spiritual herbs and grasses were not uncommon on Mount Kunlun.

Lin Zhu had left the mountain not only to travel, but also to seek opportunities.

After all, if he cultivated step by step, then even with his extraordinary comprehension, it would be difficult to rapidly improve his cultivation.

The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation would be the Jie Sect's calamity.

As the Jie Sect's Senior Disciple, he was already tainted by Jie Sect Karma.

If he wished to escape the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, he needed sufficient cultivation and strength. Otherwise, he would face the threat of death.

Moreover, most opportunities within the Primordial World had already been claimed.

After much consideration, Lin Zhu decided to travel overseas in search of opportunities.

"Junior Brother Xuan Du, I wish to make a trip overseas. Would you be willing to accompany me?" Lin Zhu turned his gaze toward Xuan Du at his side.

Over their years of traveling, Xuan Du and Lin Zhu had become friends who could speak freely about anything.

Lin Zhu had discovered that Xuan Du's nature was not bad. He was even somewhat kindhearted.

Moreover, he was quite gentle.

Xuan Du rarely refuted anything Lin Zhu said.

Xuan Du also stopped and looked at Lin Zhu beside him. "Senior Brother, why do you wish to travel overseas?"

Lin Zhu said, "The Primordial Continent has already been searched by the powerful Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness. There are many Overseas Immortal Islands, and perhaps there may be islands that have yet to emerge."

"If the two of us find some opportunities and obtain treasures, the journey will not have been in vain. What do you think?"

Only then did Xuan Du say, "Since Elder Brother wishes to go overseas, how could Xuan Du refuse to accompany you?"

Lin Zhu was overjoyed to hear this.
